Bonus track anyone?

Sounds interesting. ^_^ Makes me eager more to their upcoming album.

And kanna, have they (TERRA) mentioned the album title on their Mixi?

I don't think that "TERRA community" equals "TERRA." :P

And hmm, from what we know about every full NAOKI related album, there has been exactly 14 tracks, so I don't know how probable a bonus track is.

The ballad version is apparently the original version of DoLL and blew away everyone who heard it, so here's hoping that we get it so that it can blow us away too.

=D

I can imagine how a ballad version of doll would sound like...

I'm not too excited.. :/

As for switch with Daisuke, is there any plans for TËЯRA to go mainstream?

Well, I've just realized that.

Basically, just remove the synths and stuff from the original, and there you got the ballad version.

But, I kinda looking forward to that.

To pull of a ballad version, I think they would have to lower the BPM of DoLL; but if they do that, the vocals would be slower which wouldn't song too good IMO. Maybe they could pull it off.

Anyways, I have one huge question that I have been wanting to get answered for a long time now. Does Jun really create the songs that she is credited to, such as: Why did you go away, Sunkiss Drop, Crossroad. I have a feeling that Naoki made the songs for her to sing and he just gave her full "credit". But if that is the case, it doesn't explain Super Samurai from HP, I mean that song has Naoki written all over it and Jun doesn't sing in it at all, yet she gets credit. Does anyone know anything about this?

Well, I don't have any idea where you're basing this theory from, but being that jun doesn't sing all the songs she's credited to (Sweet Sweet <3 Magic, True Love, Why did you go away (tahirih version), Happy Angel, and many MANY more), it would be pretty lame if she didn't create them either. So if you don't mind, I wonder if you can just humor me with an explanation of how you've come up with such a conclusion.

Okay. First off, sorry for not making myself clear, I know Tahirih, Paula Terry, Allison and some other singers sang for some of her songs.

Well all I'm trying to say is that in Bemani, there aren't too many female artists who create their own songs by themselves (yeah, I know there are a few) and some of Jun's songs, Super Samurai for example, sound a lot like Naoki's style. So is it possible that Naoki makes or helps in SOME of the songs she is given credit to, or are all of the songs credited to "Jun" made just by Jun?

DIVE TO THE NIGHT (TERRA Works Remix) is a remix credited to TERRA, when in fact it was only by jun alone. That, also seems to sound NAOKI like. Since they work so closely many a time, they may adopt similar styles.

Proof on REVOLUTION: ULTiMATE
words: jun / music: jun & NAOKI MAEDA / arrangement: NAOKI MAEDA

The official credits would not list jun if she had not contributed in part or in whole.

IMO, I think that in general, jun really does not receive much/enough credit as a lyricist, and more so an actual composer.

PS: I officially want a TERRA course for IIDX GOLD CS and it should have either Touka Renjou or Hana Ranman -Flowers-

nilmind · 10-26-2007, 01:53 AM

First, I think there are better examples than ULTiMATE. Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure it was jun who composed the music to Mugen no Hikari (by herself).

Even so, I think his point was that with the jun name, Naoki may still be doing some stuff behind the scenes or something (?). If that's the case, it's obviously not something that anyone can just find out. Heck, you won't even be able to ask them about it.

darkamdusias · 10-26-2007, 02:17 AM

In addition to that, it's hard not to get influenced by musicians that you work closely with. Look at TAKA/TaQ or kors k/Ryu☆ and you'll see examples of this.

**Ebisumaru** · 10-26-2007, 10:45 AM

jun compose almost all the TERRA music, but NAOKI is the one in charge about the arrangement... what i think is that maybe jun is not like... too virtous in the arrangement part (well she's always between 170~190 BPM)... I'm not saying that her original songs are bad... just that maybe the NAOKI arrangements are better than the ones she could do (well... NAOKI has more experience... he looks older than her xP)

About the DIVE INTO THE NIGHT Remix stuff was like contrary... NAOKI compose the remix (and also the original version xD) and jun made the remix...

About the SUPER SAMURAI stuff... thank god jun is doing something different and of course that song in particular is highly influenced by NAOKI; but i don't doubt that that's a jun song! (Somebody still believe that NAOKI is preparing his replacement... and the name of the replacement is jun??? xD)

Robo2001 · 10-26-2007, 02:28 PM

yes jun is his pupile XP
...see you

Shigekix · 10-26-2007, 03:08 PM

This does get me thinking, though. Was jun "hired" for her vocal talents, her lyrical talents, or her compositional talents?
